I posted about this a week or so ago but basically I need to take a break with a T that I've been seeing for about 6 years. I'm already seeing a different T and I'm making more progress with him so I need to just stick with him for a while.
I have to talk to my 1st T and I don't know how to explain this to her. She knows I see another T but I just don't know how to tell her I'm doing better with him then I ever did with her? Any suggestions?

could you say that you are working on something with the other T and starting to see some progress so you would like to take a break from seeing and to force on you work with T2?

After six years of therapy you're therapist most probably knows you very well. And hopefully you feel that you can be honest with her by now. My suggestion is that you speak entirely openly about the situation. Be honest with both therapists, and with yourself. Good luck!

My T and I, overall, are doing very well. Even still, if I told him I found someone else I wanted to try or someone who was doing better with me he would honestly be filled with joy for me. He wants nothing more than to see me heal, his ego is not a part of it.

I think any good therapist would be the same way. When I approached the subject of seeing an EMDR T I think she momentarily was taken aback. She told me she would support anything I thought would help me heal. Zhe said she would take a break from seeing me while I did it since most insurance companies will not cover two Ts. When I found I my insurance would cover. We discussed that if any time it became to much seeing the two of them she would step back. I could tell it would be hard for her but she would. I told her if the two became to much I would stop seeing Emdr T.

You don't have to explain anything. I'd say, let her know you're switching, cancel your future appointments, and that's it.
